Room was next to either an auto detail shop or body shop and was loud during early morning. We were told of a planned power outage on our last night there and prepped for keeping devices fully charged, bags packed while the lights were on. This cut into our last day visiting San Diego. Then there was no outage. It was fine but definitely an inconvenience. The area was centrally located to everything and that was nice but it didn’t feel the safest and it isn’t walkable to anything because of traffic and highways. Staff were nice and breakfast was sufficient!

Our stay at the Holiday Inn Express was very pleasant. We found this particular Holiday Inn is invested in customer care, cleanliness, and making sure as a guest we are treated with care. The breakfast was nice as all Holiday Inn's. Only thought people may complain the food was cold, not hot. What I noticed is guest did not close the lids, therefore the food would cool off quickly.

AC kept turning off and on in the middle of the night to “maintain” the temperature, no exhaust fan in washroom. Breakfast and wifi was excellent.

Our room felt like home. The hotel was close to Sea World and had lots of restaurants nearby. The staff were friendly. Our room was tidied up daily and was restocked with fresh towels. Breakfast was well stocked and had good variety. We stayed at several hotels during our vacation and this was our favorite. Would stay here again if we come back to San Diego.

The staff was friendly and helpful, allowing us to check in about 30 minutes early without an extra charge. The room was clean and spacious and seemed fairly up to date. Even though our room faced the highway, we did not notice a lot of noise. Breakfast what's better than anticipated with plenty of hot and cold choices. The only minor complaint was the first night we were there, the cable TV would lose signal on all channels for random amounts of time and then come back on. Problem was resolved by the second day.
